PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA FROM BURMAH 237 



black ; a similar coloured band occupying nearly the apical third 

 of their length ; underside and legs pale testaceous , the apices 

 of the posterior tibiae fuscous ; the first joint of the posterior 

 tarsi as long as the three following joints together ; claws ap- 

 pendiculate; anterior coxal cavities closed. , 



Bhamò, July 1886. 



In regard to this genus described by myself in the Notes of 

 the Leyden Museum Vol. VI, an unfortunate oversight has 

 made me describe the same insect under two different generic 

 names, one of them (A7ucei'a) which must fall as well as the 

 species placed in that genus, as it seems only to be a variety 

 of the one , described in Cerotrus. The present species differs 

 from the type from Sumatra in having a longer third joint of 

 tlie antennae (in the type, the second and tliird joints are short 

 and equal, wliich may be the character of the male insect) but 

 does not differ in any other way, and may be known from 

 manv otlier genera of Hallicinoe by the very transversely-shaped 

 thorax , and the comparative moderately incrassate posterior 

 femora in connection with the closed coxal cavities. In the 

 variety , the black apical portion of the elytra is divided by a 

 space of the ground colour from the apical margin.
